You are correct! I had to look at my old Install Shield installation to
figure all this out. I am using part of their custom actions just to do
this:
Extract XCACLS.vbs to SUPPORTDIR and then call it through another custom
VBScript.
I know all things I shouldn't be doing.
I would love to use the <Permission> element but it didn't seem to edit
the ACL.
I am using the following command lines for XCACLS.vbs:
"My Directory" /E /G "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE":XW
/E Edit ACL instead of replacing it. This is the big
one I can't seem to get WIX to do
/G user:GUI Grant security permissions similar to Windows GUI
standard (non-advanced) choices.
X read & eXecute
W Write
I would love to get rid of all this old reliance on Install shield. And
I don't really need special permissions. Just the ones that I would
normally get with the Windows GUI security tab, "read and eXecute" and
"Write".
Can I do the above in the <Permission> element? I just don't see how to
edit the ACL instead of overwriting the whole thing. And how do I use
the <User> element. I just couldn't figure all this out!
Thanks!
Brandon

>From the name, I'd guess that XCACLS.vbs calls the xcacls command line
utility to set advanced permissions on some folder.
You might get better results using the <Permission> element with the
@Extended attribute set to 'yes' (WiX 2.0.x) or a <PermissionEx> element
from the Util schema (Wix 3.0.x).
Could you confirm which version of WiX you're using?
I'd try as hard as possible to remove any remaining dependencies on
InstallShield.

Rats! I used dark to get the following wix fragment:
<CustomTable Id="ISSetupFile">
<Column Id="ISSetupFile" Nullable="yes" Type="string" Width="72"
PrimaryKey="yes" />
<Column Id="FileName" Nullable="yes" Type="string" Width="255" />
<Column Id="Stream" Nullable="yes" Type="binary" />
<Row>
<Data Column="ISSetupFile"><![CDATA[SetupFile12]]></Data>
<Data Column="FileName"><![CDATA[XCACLS.vbs]]></Data>
<Data Column="Stream"
SourceFile="ISSetupFile\ISSetupFileFileName.ibd" />
</Row>
</CustomTable>
I put this in my code and I get:
testcustomactions.wxs(52) : error CNDL0134 : The CustomTable/@Type
attribute's value, 'OBJECT', is not currently a supported column type.
This is a known issue and will not get fixed until the CustomTable
processing code is rewritten.
testcustomactions\testcustomactions.wxs(59) : error CNDL0004 : The Data
element contains an unexpected attribute 'SourceFile'.
light.exe : fatal error LGHT0005: File of type 'Source' with name
'msi\testcustomactions.wixobj' could not be found.
Bummer!
Anyone know a workaround for this?
